Liza Reyes, 2012 SABOR Chairman

“We’re glad to see that home sales continue to increase,” said Liza Reyes, 2012 SABOR Chairman of the Board. For five consecutive months, San Antonio has had less than 7 months supply of home inventory, signaling a very balanced market in terms of supply and demand which favors both buyers and sellers.SABOR President and CEO Angela Shields said “we credit the strength of the housing market to San Antonio’s continued job growth, affordability and low interest rates

Lawrence Yun, National Association of REALTORS® chief economist, said the national housing recovery is underway. “It is no longer just the investors who are taking advantage of high affordability conditions. A return of normal home buying for occupancy is helping home sales across all price points, and now the recovery appears to be extending to home prices,” he said. “The general downtrend in both listed and shadow inventory has shifted from a buyers’ market to one that is much more balanced, but in some areas it has become a seller’s market.”
